A Postcard From London 2013
Same place… Different time of the day… Two years on…

Running By
I was in London for a few days on a work-related trip just last week. Not wanting to lug along my full DSLR-kit, the Lumix G7 came in handy. With the camera and 3 lenses covering a 35mm-equivalent range of 28-400mm all fitting nicely into a small bag, I went for a leisurely stroll on the Golden Jubilee Bridge, intending to take some shots of the London Eye. Little did I realise that the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon was to take place then. Soon, the streets were filled with colourful and brightly-dressed runners. Using a high vantage point from the bridge, I was able to take some interesting pictures in the surprisingly pleasant (for October) weather.
A Journey On The Tube
Advantage of a small camera (my new Lumix GX7) — it is easier to appear inconspicuous while taking candid shots e.g. while on a journey in the London Underground. Although one of the passengers appear to be looking towards my camera, I suspect that she didn’t actually realise that she was on candid camera 😛 The wide-aperture prime lens certainly helps in addition to a completely silent shutter setting. Cross-processed in Lightroom 5 to achieve the colour-tint effect that I wanted.
